Default New Clutch

I have decided rather than fight with the dealership and end up with another POS clutch, to go aftermarket. Based upon what I've read on here I am going with the Ram.
Need a little help here. I am looking at the #402 pressure plate and the #6130 clutch disc. I am planning on the flywheel, adjustable M/C and what else?? The dealership replaced the slave last week. Any thoughts or suggestions would be great.

I just finished installing the same combo this weekend. Looks like you have the parts covered. Dont forget to get that assembly balanced, my 402 was over 20 grams off.

The machine shop I took it to is on Carroll St in Fort Worth. Steve (817-335-9331) was the guy that helped me.

Turned out great. It still chatters a bit still, but I was told to expect that till it's broken in. Its getting better, but our weather has delayed the break-in period.

Now, the process went anything but great. I introduced an error with a FW that was intended to be used as part of a set, not a factory replacement. Ended up costing me more downtime, oh well.
